Brighton

Late spring to early autumn suits seafront walks, though breezy weather can affect beach days.

Changeable maritime weather calls for layers, waterproofs and protection from strong coastal winds.

Accommodation and dining can be expensive; save by visiting free galleries and using buses.

Frequent buses serve the city, while the railway station provides useful regional connections; steep streets limit some journeys.

Visit the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Palace Pier, The Lanes, North Laine and the seafront.

Take normal urban precautions, particularly around the seafront and nightlife areas after dark.
